Title

A hand-written letter of appreciation by A. Conan Doyle on his South Norwood stationery.

Description

“Sir Frederic” is possibly the famed war correspondent and artist Sir Frederic Villiers. The two men struck up an acquaintance during this time period. Doyle lived at Tennison Road from 1891 to 1894, meaning his stay there coincided with the composition and initial publication of most of the short stories that comprise The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.
